Even the weekend rains took a break for a day of sun inBoracay for the Summer Dodgeball Games last Saturday. The daylong competition, which marked the first time that an official dodgeball game was played on the beach here in the country, saw exciting matches that pitted 12 teams for the coveted maiden championship title. Competing teams comprised a motley crew of boys, girls, Filipino vacationers, Boracay locals and foreign tourists of all shapes and sizes under creatively coined teams such as Chikitita (an all girls team) Team Cone and Team Ang.
To the delight of beach gawkers, celebrity exhibition games were held that included among others, Tisha Silang, Krista Ranillo, Cheska Litton, Mark Nelson and Magic 89.9 DJs Mojo Jojo, Mo Twister, Grace Lee andAndi 9. Spectators were also treated to fun intermission games that featured cool summer prizes from Nestlé .The day started with a dodgeball clinic by no less than the Philippine Dodgeball Association to help the uninitiated learn the ropes of the game and others to be reacquainted with the sport. Celebrity DJs, notably Mojo Jojo, Tina Ryan, Junior Jock Dale, and the boys from Boys’ Night Out, helped amp the fun through their often wacky annotations of the games. The competition culminated in a fierce best-of-five final match that had spectators crowding the dodgeball court to see team Boracay Dragons emerge as champions. The champion team brought home P10,000 and fun filled goody bags. Jeffrey Rodriguez of the winning team was chosen Most Valuable Player and won a coolPhilips GoGear mp3 player.
Nestlé executive Gel Angeles expects the beach dodgeball event to now be held every year. “The fun filled excitement of today’s events truly highlights the fun one can get from Nestlé Pops. We hope to expand this competition into a formal annual summer sports event.”
